As well as all of the tools you get with the regular Henry, Henry Xtra has two additional floorheads – one with a rotating brush for carpet, and the other is more slimline and best for hard flooring and tiles. As my office doubles as my dressing room and the place where I dry my hair, said hair does moult and is a plight on the rug. These slot in and out of one another with ease and I often take the whole pole off and use the adapter to connect things directly to the hose if I don't need the part of the pole that has the suction control. But what many people don't know is that there are a few variants of this machine, and most of us are thinking of the Henry HVR160 though there is a cordless option and an eco version of this standard offering too. The bags themselves are the new HepaFlo bags, which are really strong and not made from paper like the older-style bags.

Add to this his super long-reach 10m cable plus extra cleaning capacity and Henry Xtra makes cleaning even easier. This will be included within your account minimum payment request every month and cannot be repaid using Take 3. Next, it was time to clean my carpeted living room and bedroom, plus the rugs in various spaces of my home. As it is powered by the suction, it can grind to a halt if you hit a rug edge or block the hose, but it levels up the cleaning capabilities of a regular Henry considerably.so if you have the Henry HVR160 and your home is all hard flooring, it could be worth the cheap upgrade with this tool. For comparison, the app lists these levels as being between 'normal conversation' and 'loud singing'. Storage can be an issue but she has a generous bathroom cupboard with enough room for her Henry and her cordless stick vacuum, plus other cleaning supplies. It is also one of the biggest dust tank (nine litres) capacities available on a domestic vacuum cleaner and a breath of fresh air when the appliance world is pushing us to cordless stick models with tiny tanks. Not great if you are worried about the sustainability of bagged vacs, but as it holds so much the waste is minimal.

The Henry Xtra is a vacuum cleaner that offers the very best in carpet care as well as getting rid of hair from shedding pets. This won't be an issue at all if you live on a single level, but I do find him a bit tricky to carry up and down my narrow stairs.

And, if you're already a Henry Stan, you will be pleased to see the extra floor heads to make it even easier to get every bit of dirt out of carpet and hard flooring, and safely locked in the mess-free HEPAFlo bag. The Numatic Henry Xtra comes with an enhanced TriTex filtration system which does a great job of getting rid of dust particles. However, it doesn’t remove other types of allergens so if you need a filter that can, the Xtra wouldn’t be the most suitable choice. Like all Numatic vacuum cleaners, the Xtra comes with four dust bags which should last you several months.
